Nesting Habits of the Magnificent Hummingbird

The responsibilities for nest building and incubation belong to the female Magnificent hummingbird. The nest of the Magnificent hummingbird is generally built about 9 feet off the ground near the tip of a bamboo stem.

Once the female Magnificent hummingbird lays the eggs, an incubation period of 15-19 days follows. The Magnificent hummingbird young leave the nest 20-26 days after hatching to venture into the world.
